Yeah some unsolicated hot takes in no particular order 1. React is better than everything that came before it and I haven't seen anything do it better 2. Hooks are genius 3. If you've never done frontend on a moderately large app, you probably underestimate frontend engineering

it’s always funny to me when people try to paint react as some kind of “big company” propaganda. it was like one person’s wild idea and then there was at most ~5 people maintaining it for years. people HATED it when fb open sourced it. the only reason it won is because the model was actually good

That is also how I experienced it through the years. What are the alternatives if you take React out of the equation? Angular? Ember.js? Some Java monstrosity? PHP? Python/Django? Writing a complex website that stays maintainable is not trivial. React is on the low end of complexity IMHO.
